The stage is set for an unforgettable night of football as Barcelona and Real Madrid clash in the Copa del Rey final tonight at Estadio de La Cartuja. The match kicks off at 20:00 local time on April 26, 2025, and promises to be another electrifying chapter in the story of Spain’s most heated rivalry.
Barcelona, who are chasing their 32nd Copa del Rey title, secured their place in the final after a hard-fought victory over Atlético Madrid in the semifinals. The Catalan giants have a storied history in this competition, having won it more times than any other club — 31 times.
On the other side, Real Madrid booked their ticket to the final by eliminating Real Sociedad. Los Blancos, who have won the Copa del Rey 20 times, will be determined to lift the trophy and close the gap on their rivals’ record.
This final marks the first El Clásico in a Copa del Rey final since 2014, when Real Madrid famously defeated Barcelona 2-1 thanks to a stunning goal from Gareth Bale. Tonight, with new heroes ready to emerge, both clubs will battle not just for silverware, but for pride and supremacy.
Both teams enter the final with mixed recent form, but the unique intensity of a Clásico means form often goes out the window. With world-class players on both sides and everything to play for, fans around the globe can expect fireworks in Seville.
